Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
I would bet all the money in the world that every last person attending this "sold-out" event are friends, family and supporter's of this restaurant. No self-respecting PR firm would allow them to let even one single person they don't know and trust into this event that is supposed to shine a redeeming light on this train wreck!

I hope "Sammy" picks this guy up. They deserve each other.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
I would love to see the "Chef Amy" demonstrate for the press at to how "she" makes all her great desserts -- made fresh daily according to their website. THEN have her multi-talented hubby -- internet security expert AND world class photgrapher -- set up the food photography. After all, and as he said, Amy made that beautiful food, and he shot the "pictures." THEN, people like Martha Stewart "stole them."
And to all those who have made reservations for the "Re-Grand Opening" -- HERE'S AN IDEA: When your bill arrives, pay with a credit card, and Note the Tip line as "Cash Tip" -- and hand your server their tip directly. Then sit back and watch Sammy melt down.

This is the link to the petition that is spreading like wildfire to get the Dept of Labor to investigate and hold ABC accountable for theft. Please sign, every single signature means getting closer to some kind of justice for the current and ex workers of this business.

That Samy guy is so creepy and ingratiating. His wife has the "crazy eyes" like Jodi Arias.
Re: “The Skinny”
Hey at this point the ONLY person we have any hope with on the BOS is Ms.Miller! The rest of them are on the "county payroll" for the long haul and follow blindly what the county administrator wants.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
so why hasn't the labor department looked into this??
Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself”
David, thank you for presenting, what is to you, a rational argument. I will "lay off it" when these words cease to be presented on the Yahoo news website, without me doing a search. I live in Tucson, and this nonsense adversely affects outsiders' perception of my current home town. If you believe that presenting yourself as a culturally deficient person is acceptable, then do not call it discrimination when I, too, believe that fact.
Enough said on the subject.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
Samy was shown on TV admitting to taking the tips. So any BS they say is a bunch of lies.
And yes, lets decide; a chef, who has worked in the business for 20+ years, has restaurants all over the world, and is known for his cuisine, or these two trolls who are doing nothing but damage control.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
Ellen Miller, the minimum wage for servers is lower BUT that is because legally their tips must make up for the rest and put them at least at minimum wage. If a server's tips do not total up to miniumum wage, then the restaurant legally must compensate for that.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
They've no doubt "sold out" with ringers they paid to "enjoy" their crap food & service.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
The minimum wage for servers is different (and much lower) than the regular minimum wage, ABC Fail Follower.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
I can't believe they are still going on about the amount they pay their waitstaff. It doesn't matter how much they pay them. Federal LAW states that the employer cannot take the tips unless there is an agreed-upon tip pool (and there was not).
These people are crazy. Too bad they're crazy people with money to keep this going on and on instead of learning a lesson or two.
Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself”
Mammey thinks it is not well mannered to use cursing in these posts, but it is perfectly acceptable to tell someone (me) to go commit suicide. I smell a hypocritical rat.
Re: “The Skinny”
JCC how civil of you. Have you even seen the supervisor meetings? Mrs. MIller has been asking questions at every meeting, asking about where funds are going if there is a way some here or there, to put thse savings into the roads. I have sent emails and her staff has helped in many more ways than Ann Day ever did. Anyways what was the big deal even just one study session (all other counties in AZ have them for budgets) was it really such a bother to the other Board Members?

This is gona piss mammey the fuck off.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
This might be the ONLY reason to drive up to PHX in the summer.. I am making my reservations now.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
"In fact, wait staff is paid $8-$14 per hour, two and half to nearly five times the standard hourly wage for servers."
By my math they think the minimum wage is somewhere between $4 and $4.60 an hour give or take...
Can't wait to see the debacle and aftermath of their continued FAIL.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
They can put up a happy face for the night but what happens when someone critiques her food? She will flip out again and acuse you of being a hater. The crazy can't simply go away. She already showed her true colors. Even Gordon himself said that whatever changes they implement will only be temporary and will go back to their way"crazy ways" sooner than later
